doc to docx Translator
The doc to docx translator is already quite mature. Nevertheless, some of the rather unfrequently used features are not yet or not yet fully implemented. The following tasks might be tackled in future phases of this project:
- improving charts, SmartArts and WordArts translation
- improving revision mark translation
Please report any problems or issues you encounter in the SourceForge "doc2x Maintenance" tracker.
xls to xlsx Translator
The current goal of the xls to xlsx translator is to retain as many of the Excel-typical features as possible like formulas, value and date formatting, string and cell formatting.
The conversion result of straightforward Excel sheets should be quite good. More complex features are currently not supported, such as:
- Charts
- Pivot Tables
- Pictures
- Shapes
- OLE Objects
- Comments
- Macros
- Document Properties
You can submit bugs or feature requests on Sourceforge in the "xls2x Bugs" tracker.

Some features that are not yet implemented:
- Charts
- Tables
- Comments
- Macros
- Some Animationen
- Document Properties
